Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) activates four E prostanoid (EP) receptors, EP1-4. EP4 is a Gs protein-coupled receptor that plays important roles in bone formation and resorption (1), cancer (2) and atherosclerosis (3) by elevating the second messenger cAMP. This chemical is an 8-aza-9-oxo-15-hydroxy saturated analog of PGE2. It selectively binds the EP4 receptor (Ki = 35 nM) relative to the EP1, EP2, and EP3 receptors (Ki = 3,000, 2,000, and >3,000 nM, respectively) (4). This chemical stimulates cAMP formation in excised murine ovaries (5).
